Who developed ICS standards for small scale, urban all hazard emergencies?

The development of Incident Command System (ICS) standards specifically tailored for small-scale, urban all-hazard emergencies can be attributed to the AZ Fire-Ground Commander Program. This program is designed to address the unique challenges faced in urban settings, integrating various resources and responding effectively to emergencies. The standards established by this program help ensure that first responders can coordinate their actions efficiently, facilitating communication and operational effectiveness during incidents that may involve a variety of hazards.

Other organizations and programs, such as FIRESCOPE, the National Fire Protection Association, and the United States Fire Administration, have made significant contributions to emergency management and ICS development but are more focused on broader or different contexts. FIRESCOPE primarily addresses large-scale incidents in California, while the NFPA develops standards that cover a wide range of fire safety and prevention, rather than focusing solely on small-scale incidents. The United States Fire Administration provides training and resources aimed at improving fire safety broadly, but does not specialize in the specific needs of urban emergency responses like the AZ Fire-Ground Commander Program does.
